Light Focus Tomorrow

Production Meeting today:

Very short, very nice.

My only concern: the change in color for the upstage hut on short notice. Went from a greenish oceany color to a purple and orange wood hut. Why? Budget. Reusing mixed paint from old shows and because the building on SR is very green.

Walked through the scene shop to see this little change of color. Not bad. Wish I would have known sooner. That's the only thing.

Talked to the sound designer regarding the opening light cues and sound cues. We have to communicate clearly about the start because of the lightning and thunder that starts the show off. Plus I pitched my idea about the preshow cue that will run as the audience filters in.

I want the stage to look very happy and "Caribbean" and over the course of 30 minutes get darker and become more storm like in appearance to get us ready for the show. He will be playing upbeat caribbean music anyways and no storm sounds will appear until we start to dim the house lights.

Now I leave you with some virtual light lab photos:
